i get this error when i try to boot up emulationstation and now it’s all weird and some of the font is missing

mitu

You problem is most likely caused by uninstalling libsdl2instead of libsdl2-dev. Re-installing the package through apt would not solve it, since RetroPie uses its own version, with OpenGL ES support. The version distributed by Raspbian runs needs an X.org (desktop) environment to run.

To re-install the RetroPie SDL2 version, run:

sudo $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh sdl2 install_bin

Try again starting Emulationstation and see if it works.

@mitu ok

asianchinaboi

@asianchinaboi It just says command not found

mitu

@asianchinaboi Which command is marked as not found ? Make sure you type the command as is.

asianchinaboi

@mitu sudo: $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh sdl2 install_bin command not found

mitu

@asianchinaboi Are you typing this on your RetroPie's command line prompt ?

asianchinaboi

Yes I am typing it through the retropie command prompt

mitu

@asianchinaboi I literally typed the same command and it worked. Make sure you're not mis-typing anything

asianchinaboi

@mitu yeah I tried typing it again 5 times making sure I didn’t did anything wrong and I still wouldn’t work

mitu

@asianchinaboi Did you remove the RetroPie-Setup folder or uninstalled RetroPie ?

asianchinaboi

@mitu no

asianchinaboi

@asianchinaboi maybe you could give me a link to install the retropie_packages.sh ?

mitu

@asianchinaboi said in i get this error when i try to boot up emulationstation please help:

retropie_packages.sh

The retropie_packages.sh should be in your $HOME/RetroPie-Setup folder, it's part of the RetroPie install. How did you install RetroPie - what image did you use ?

asianchinaboi

@mitu I found it using FTP

asianchinaboi

Oh wait I got it working the problem was that I wasn’t using capitals lol

asianchinaboi

ITS WORKING YAY thanks so much guys I worried that I would have to reinstall the whole thing I love this community

asianchinaboi

Everything very glitchy like the icons are missing and it keeps saying glerror lol but anyways I will just install everything again in retropie

asianchinaboi
